Test Properties

Test properties are the 4 classifications every test case carries. Each has a set of values, which you rename or extend here.

The properties

• Test Case Priority: the urgency and execution order of a test case. Its values are Critical, Major, Medium, and Minor.
• Automation Type: the automation state of a test case. Its values are Not Automated, Automated, Obsolete, and Automation Not Required.
• Test Case Status: the current state of a test case in the testing lifecycle. Its values are Ready, Draft, Rework, In Review, and Obsolete.
• Test Case Type: the category of a test case, based on its purpose and testing approach. Its values are User Experience, Functional, Unit Test, Non Functional, and Integration.

Note

You can rename these values and add your own. The 4 properties themselves are fixed, so you can’t add a fifth or remove one.

2. Click Edit. The Edit Properties panel opens.

3. Click the value you want to rename and edit it in place.

Tip

The plus icon’s tooltip names the property it adds to, such as Add Test Case Priority value, which is worth checking before you type.
